Course Description

This course introduces the student to the areas of probability theory and statistical inferences.Topics include sample spaces, the concepts of randomvariables, probability distributions; functions ofrandom variables, transformation of variables, sampling and estimation theory;T, F and chi-square distributions, hypothesis testing, one-factor experiments, factorial experiments and ANOVA analysis.

Topics Covered
  • Basic concepts of engineering statistics;
  • Random and fixed variables;
  • Discrete and continuous probability distributions;
  • Sampling, sampling distributions;
  • One- and two-sample test of hypotheses;
  • One-factor experiments, general;
  • Factorial experiments;
  • 2k factorial experiments;
  • ANOVA analysis.

Grading Policy:

Quiz:5%

Homework:15%

First Test:20%

Second Test:20%

Third Test:20%

Fourth Test:20%

A class average grade will be determined based on the class performance, and the final grades for individuals will be determined accordingly. Homework is due two weeks after assigned.
